Abstract
This Israeli national study examined 248 hospital social workers' attitudes and experiences with HIV/AIDS. Major findings showed differential attitudes related to different categories for people living with HIV/AIDS. Social workers' knowledge about, and experience with persons with AIDS, age, and religiosity were associated with these differential attitudes. Findings are discussed in comparison to studies and social work practice.
